HU1 FIGHT LIKELY
IN AN ATTEMPT TO
ABOLISH PRIMARY
Nat Townsend, Of Harnett, Says He
Will Sponsor Bill To Restore
Convention System
(Raleigh Correspondent)
One of the topics that has engaged
fl!6 ^ttention politicians ever since
he State Board of Elections met a
vveeks ago to canvas the returns of
June primary is the question of abol
ishing the primary system. There
is underway a rather determined ef
ort to get rfid of it at the coming
special session of the legislature. The
tone of several newspaper editorials
anent the second contest Soldier
Grist has demanded has emphasized
the purpose of those who, on first
blush, concluded that an effort ought
t o be made to turn the State back to
the convenion.
Now comes Representative Nat
Townsend, fighting leader of the pro
gressive group of this legislature,
with the declaration that he will
propose a State wide referendum
on the question of primary abolition
at the Novembe election.
Mr. Townsend finds on his side
not only many of the newspapers but
such strong administrationists as
secretary of State W. N. Everett, who
is pronounced in an opinion that the
wisest thing the special session can
do—deferring, of course, to the job
it has been called here for—is to
wipe out the primary lock stock and
barrel. The only part of a ram rod
h would leave would be the precinct
meeting form which obtains even
with the primary.
If Mr. Townsend leads the fight,
and he says now that he will pre
sent the bill as soon as the speial
session is ready for business, he will
have powerful folks upporting him.
W. W. Neal, of Marion, is a perennial
jbjectionist to the primary. W. H.
S. Burgwyn, or Nothampton, is an
other who protests. State Chairman
John Dawson has never been a warm
dvocate of it and the ways are pret
ty well greased for a bill to get
though in the open.
JUDGE DEVIN TAKES
A SHORT REST
He Is Spending the Week At
Swansboro.
Judge Devin reached home from
Charlotte last Saturday, where he
held court in that section of the
State for several weeks. The Char
lotte papers speak in higti terms of
the manner in which he conducts
his court and the large amount of
work he accomplishes. , .
Judge Devin is taking a short rest
this weekk with' friends at Swans
boro where he will try his hand at
catching fish. He expects to return
home and be with the Baptist Ba
raca Class next Sunday morning.

THE SILVER LINING
I _
j Crops Are More Bountiful Than
Expected.
| Many people, especially those who
, live in town ,have a notion that noth
! ing good can follow after a belated
spring or so rainy a season as we
have experienced this spring,
i The fact is that the weather has
been ideal for fruit and some other
'crops, and the sunshine and warm
j days from now on will cause the land
to give up record crops after what
many people have been disposed to
[regard as a season of “disastrous”
spring weather.

LAST SATURDAY WAS
LONGEST DAY OF YEAR
j Last Saturday was the longest
[day in the year, according to the cal
endar of the Solar system. The sun
[rose at 5 09 a. m. and set at 7.40
ip. m., making the day 14 hours and
i 31 minutes long.
: While the people as a whole are
| under the impression and the gen
eral habit of terming the entire
[month of June a summer month, it
jis in fact only partly a summer
month, when it is governed by the ac
tion of the sun within the solar sys
tem. •
June 22 is the first day of summer
under the solar system, due to the
,fact that on the previous day the sun
lhad reached its zenith in the course
:of its travels north of the Equator,
i making that day the longest, and on
jthe following day, June 22, the sun
; entered into its summer solstice. It
;had then reached a point pass the
i Equator of 23 degrees and 27 min
utes north, which is the approximate
iline of Tropic of Cancer. This is
called the “declimation point" and
;is the point when the sun begins its
I gradual return course to and past
jthe Equator.
! The sun will enter its winter sol
jstice when it reaches 23 degrees and
; 2 7 minutees south of the Equator or
jthe Tropic of Capricord.This will be
• on December 22. Like in the north
i ern course, the day previous will be
'determining point and December 21
'will be the shortest day in the year,
j There are two days in the year on
! which the time of light and the time
’night are the same. These are
j March 21 and September 23, when
‘the sun is directly at the Equator.
! These actions refer to the tropic,
j semi-tropic and temperate zones, but
jnot to the frigid, or the Arctic or
jAnarctic zones.
i BUILDING OPERATIONS
—
i More Than $250,000 Invested In New
Buildings Here This Year.
! The building operations enumerat
ed in the last issue of the Public
! Ledger was only a partial list of the
j buildings that have gone up in Ox
's ford during, the past six months,
j Mr. Melvin Mays is erecting a nice
\ home on Hancock street.
I Capt. J. I. Stegall is building four
I nice homes on Coggshall street,
j Mr. Earl Hunt has completed a
, nice home on Raleigh street.
A cotton gin is being erected on
Raleigh road, and the colored people
i have put up a number of homes in
, South Oxford.
j Taking into account the building
operatrions now under way at the
Oxford Orphanage, the expenditure
for new buildings in this community
for the past six months represent
more than a quarter of a million dol
lars.
Now let us get busy and land a
$250,000 manufacturing plant to
! even up things.
| BLUE BIRD TEA ROOM
—
I Will Move To the New Hicks Build
i
ing Next Week.
The Blue Bird Tea Room, which
has made an enviable reputation since
it was established by Misses Parham
and Winston a few months ago. will
be moved next week from its present
quarters on Court Street to one of the
handsome rooms in the new Hicks’
bui’dms: on Wiltiamsboro street, op
posite thee court house.
The two young ladies who operate
the Blue Bird are due the thanks of
.the community for the excellent ser
vice they maintain.
I THE curb market
i Liberal Offerings Of Produce Brings
! Satisfactory Prices—Some Fine
j Spring Chickens.
• The Curb Market grows in popular
i ity from week to week. The of
| ferings last Saturday were more num
! erous and of better quality than at
: any time since the market was es
tablished.
The town people were on the curb
at an early hour, and with the great
variety of produce at hand it was
easy for them to make their selec
tions. The seller and the buyer
i seemed well pleased with the prices
that prevailed.
Spring chickens that were hatched
i by the incubator early in the spring
i have made their appearance on the
i curb. These chickens were raised on
| butter-milk and they weight from
j two to two and one-half pounds each.
! The curb market is located in the
j Granville County Farmer’s Produce
| Exchange, opposite the court house

As we go to press this morning !
the automobiles are parked at I
every available place from the ,
center of town to a point beyond j
the Oxford Orphanage, a dis- i
tance of a mile, and still they j
come. The mercury stands at

at the Orphanage. There is a
little cloud overlianging Oxford
at this hour, and if it does not
rain today it will be the first St.

rain here.
GOOD NEWS OR BAD? !
■
Farmers Getting Rich and Don’t |
Know It.
We move in strange times. Ex-!
perts from the Federal Department'
of Agriculture, experts of the Weath
er Bureau and trade analysts gener
ally were calculating last week that
the corn, cotton and wheat crops
will be short in the West and South.
For the first time in many years, if>
their estimates are correct, the!
United States will not poduce enough ;
wheat for its own daily bread.
Unfavorable weather is said to be;
responsible for the crop shortage.;
October cotton is up $3 since the,
first of June.. Within a week Sep-j
tember wheat prices have jumped i
nineteen cents to the bushel Nat
urally the farmers may be expected '
to feel more cheerful. It is figured ■
now that their total wheat crop will,
bring them $157,000,000 in excess of j
incomes previously calculated. The;
corn growers are in a way to profit;
by a $240,000 increase in potential!
crop values, and the cotton men are!
at least $30,000,000 richer on paper;
than they were a month ago. No one j
will begrudge the farmer their pro
fits. They need them. But one is!
compelled to a second thought by thp}
sounds of jubilation raised in many!
parts of the country by what in the j
past we would have mourned as a
partial failure of crops and a les
sening of the Nation’s resources.
With a greatly increased purchasing
power in the farm areas, business
generally should be improved.
ASA CANDLER SEEKS
DIVORCE FROM WIFE
Coca Cola Millionaire Savs His Wife S
Acknowledged She Didn’t Marry i
Him For liOve But For His Money, j
Atlanta, Ga., June 22.—Asa G j
Candler, Sr., Atlanta Capitalist, has
brought suit for divorce from his
wife, Mrs. Mae Little Candler. The
papers alleged cruel treatment.
Before his second marriage Mr. <
Candler was sued for $500,000 for
breach of promise by Mrs. Onezimb
de Bouchel, New Orleans beauty and
society leader. This case resulted in
a verdict for Mr. Candler, the trial
[taking place after his marriage to i
;Mrs. Riggan.
| Some months ago Atlanta social I
j circles were started by the announce- j
j ment by the Atlanta chief of police 1
I that Mrs. Candler and two Atlanta
business men, had been arrested in a
raid on a fashionable apartment
house in the northside residential
section while they were sitting
around a table on which was a bot
tle partly filled with liquor,
i About that time Mrs. Candler by
! reports moved from the Candler res
idence to the home of her mother.

HULL COMMENTS ON
REPUBLICAN TICKET
Pays His Respects To the Harding*
Coolidge Administration.
The newspapers quote Chairman
J Hall as follows: “This campaign
jwill demonstrate whether a political
i party can live, or ought to live, after
; having dragged the government
i through a bottomless cesspool of
corruption, and left in its trail con
ditions of debauchery and scandal on
a scale unrivalled in the natio’s his
tory, as during the past three and
one-half years of the Harding-Cool
idge administation.
“It is hypocritical folly to talk
about giving the people any sort Of
decent government during the next
i four years, unless wholesale corrup
tion in many government depat
I ments is first removed and public
i morals and official honesty are re
j stored at Washington. Instead of
i frankly confessing and abjectly apo
j logizing for the Republican record
I of graft, bribery and rapine during
;the pesent administration, the Cleve
j land convention cheeed loudest when
the patriotic Democratic senators
who exposed Republican corruption
were denounced by Mondoll artd oth
! ers as character assassins and scan*
jdal mongers.”
